North Korea is neither a unitary, federal or confederate form of government-at least not according to the distribution of power. Firstly, not all governments fit this paradigm. Democratically organized, parliamentary and presidential governments as well as some constitutional monarchies may, but not dictatorships. I do not have the time to respond accordingly, however, suffice it to say, you need to clearly define the three, and then juxtapose them with the organization/distribution of power within the North Korean state. I think you may want to ask how state power is exercised in North Korea, and perhaps by observing the political structure, you may discover that where the people have little voice in the political process, municipalities are largely subordinate to central government policies, and the economy is centrally planned as well, we have something akin to a Dictatorship. An economy is inexorably tied to its government, and in the case of North Korea, we have a Socialist, centrally planned economy under the duress of a political despot. Obviously, this is subject to the scrutiny of other postings, and you must then decide which response better fits your cultural experience. KJE
